Soft Black Stars Lyrics - Antony And The Johnsons

little children snuggle 

under soft black stars 

and if you look into their eyes 

soft black stars 

deliver them from the book 

and the letter and the word 

and let them read the silence 

bathed in soft black stars 

let them trace the raindrops 

under soft black stars 

let them follow whispers 

and scare away the night 

let them kiss the featherbreath 

of soft black stars 

and let them ride their horses 

licked by the wind and the snow 

and tip-toe into twilight 

where we all one day will go 

caressed with tenderness 

and with no fear at all 

their faces shining river gold 

washed by soft black stars 

and angels' wings shall soothe their cares 

and all the birds shall sing at dawn 

blessed and wet with joy 

you and i will meet one day 

under the night sky 

lit by soft black stars.
